But the former Towie star’s decision to make such a controversial coupling may not have been such an easy one – as former Islander Tyne-Lexy Clarson has pointed out.

Tyne-Lexy – who appeared earlier in the current series – took to Twitter to defend Georgia’s actions, pointing out that she felt sorry for the newcomer as she had to pick somebody – and had obviously gone with the person she felt attracted to.

After going on to say that Georgia ‘had to stay true to herself and pick the person she had that immediate attraction with’, Tyne-Lexy added: ‘What’s the point going in and picking someone you don’t like just to please everyone?

‘You get one chance so you shouldn’t waste it.’

It's a game , she had to stay true to herself and pick the person she had that immediate attraction with being the new girl

Meanwhile, for those wondering just why it was that Georgia didn’t opt to couple up with one of the new boys instead – and keep things in the villa on a more even keel – Tyne-Lexy quickly reminded viewers that she wasn’t allowed to do so.

Annnnd she couldn't have picked Theo because new people can't pick new people 🙋🏼

‘She couldn’t have picked Theo because new people can’t pick new people,’ she explained.

Good point.

Friday night’s recoupling sent shockwaves through the villa, as not only did Georgia steal Kem away from Amber, but fellow newcomer Theo put the boot in after he chose to couple up with Tyla – leaving Jonny with no choice but to couple with Amber.

Jonny couldn’t contain himself once the recoupling was over, launching into a furious attack on Theo as he called him a ‘bell end’ for his choice of partner.

‘I’d like to couple up with this girl because I wasn’t given a lot of choice because of a certain gigantic ‘bell end,’ he snapped – and things weren’t too cool between Georgia and Amber either as she told her: ‘Don’t even speak to me!’

Oh dear.
